MICROCHIP FORMAT GUIDE MicrochipHelp.com if you need a difficult or unregistered microchip traced. | |||
IMPORTANT! A very small number of chips are registered in the PetChipRegistry AKA PetChip.info which does not participate in the AHAA lookup tool. (Not to be confused with FreePetChipRegistry.com/911 PetChip which is indexed in AHAA.) If you have a chip with no registration, particularly a chip from a small company, look it up in the PetChip.info database. We find a few a year registered here. | |||

European Chips If the chip does not begin with a 9, check to see if it is a country code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_numeric#Current_codes If the country code indicates it is European, check both http://www.europetnet.com/ and http://www.petmaxx.com/ (Also check PetLog if UK chip.) PetMaxx shows the databases for each country. Regardless of what the PetMaxx returns (it is usually negative), look down the page and click on the database listed for the country with that country code and search the number in that database. Here are additional European databases https://www.d carodog.eu/identification-and-registration/ Page down on this page for the rest of the world, Australia for example https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pl&u=http://chwiladlapupila.pl/warto- wiedziec/wyszukiwarki-zaczipowanych-zwierzat/&prev=search Here is a discussion of how the numbers for some overseas chips are broken down, first three are country code, next two may be species code, etc. https://www.pet-detect.com/pages/Interpreting-microchip- numeric-codes.aspx?pageid=610 When all else fails, ICAR is the authority: https://www.icar.org/index.php/rfid-injectable/ | ||
